It's been providing cross-browser synchronization since 1999. Version 2.0 fully supports Unicode, SSL and all the latest browsers. It also syncs between OS X and Win32. ]]> http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-4236 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-4162 Tue, 17 Oct 2006 09:25:36 -0700 I’ve been trying programs, working through the list. I couldn’t get Foxmarks to work, I get 100% CPU usage and then a system crash. Working through [the list](http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Web_Applications/Bookmark_Managers/): - Coronasync can only handle additions, not deletions. - Book Kit say they are not what we want, it’s not quite obvious why. Anyway their 2MB size limit is smaller than the size of our bookmarks, at 6.4MB. - Favorites Manager timed out. - Zinkmo hung. - Ripway seemed not to be able to handle the merge process. - Sitebar was clunky and difficult to figure out. - Weta – no - Abstract Mouse is generally seen as unreliable. >Does anyone have any idea who offers a solution? >Foxmarks seemed the most promising solution. It has an impressive-looking team. It checks back to PCs once a minute. It can handle deletions as well as additions, even if there are several PCs involved, remembering complex deletion-and-addition chains. That's what we need. The text on Foxmarks' site repeatedly talks about synchronizing bookmarks between several machines and users, but frustratingly it turns out that the Foxmarks team primarily had in mind the single home-and-office browser user, not a collaborative workplace team. Anyway, I've had extensive correspondence with them, tried everything, and we just can't get it to work. >So we're stuck. >All ideas gratefully considered. Perhaps the software hasn't yet been developed. But this is hard to imagine, actually. What do the teams at Yahoo and DMOZ use? They spend their lives collaboratively developing bookmark collections. Foxmarks seems nearly there, but incomprehensibly, they don't see collaborative use of bookmarks in a team setting as a priority. I recommended that Matthew consider a version control system on his own server (since it sounds like he has a server available). This would require that each employee was training in how to do check-ins, check-outs, merges, etc., which may be too much of a training burden. *Does anyone know of an existing versioned/merging bookmark system? Does use Subversion for doing versioned and collaborative bookmark management on a team? Can someone recommend another solution that Matthew has not already mentioned here?* ]]> http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-4162 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-4204 Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:38:31 -0700 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-4204 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-3965 Fri, 17 Mar 2006 16:53:28 -0800 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-3965 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-3951 Thu, 09 Mar 2006 17:52:10 -0800 http://paininthetech.com/2006/01/25/10-ways-to-manage-and-synchronize-bookmarks/#comment-3951
